Brilliantly well written, flashbacks worked in superbly - see Episode 13, the burning house cut not just to good times but the cause of the fire. Sincere performances. Quiet, undramatic treatment underlined by simple music score (Siddhartha Khosla).
There's always a moment which brings a tear to the eye.
Long plotting (Dan Fogelman is the creator) - halfway through season two we still don't know how the father dies, but are getting closer in episode which stays on Kevin throughout as he experiences a meltdown at a High School awards ceremony. (In a triptych, all three kids have their own episode.)
Great scene too where Kevin goes into psychotherapy and the all the family are involved in the session.
Also stuff with foster kid great.
Sterling K Brown (Randall) and Milo Ventimiglia (the father) were both Emmy nominated for this season.
Season finale - in which we appear to flash into the future - is scary.
With Mandy Moore (mother), Chrissy Metz (Kate), Justin Hartley (Kevin), Susan Kelechi Watson (Randall's wife), Chris Sullivan (Kate's BF), Ron Cephas Jones (Randall's real father) and Lyric Ross (Deja).
